This has been the case for years and they still never get marketing right. I have just accepted that while HTC makes amazing phones they suck at garnering attention and therefore this will be another underrated phone that barely anyone knows about.
@Roborav lol m7 and m8 are like the top 3 phones back then. You are just talking shit out of your mouth. Nobody buys it because their marketing is shit but only smart people will look into it. Heck htc 12 might be even better than current iphone.
Whats good about it? Same construction as the U11, in short..it sucks .. scanner on the back ?? extra bad camera's ?? Don't get me wrong, i was looking forward to today, but seeing this shit i'm moving to a different brand ...
what comeback? the guy in the video had to sound excited or the channel may get fewer brand deals but all i heard was "HTC hold this L". shoutout to floss. 1) removing black from the colour lineup is not innovation. 2) no headphone jack. HTC does not have an army of sheep buying whatever bullshit comes out every year so following this bullshit trend is definitely a bad move when android users mostly vote with their wallet and are very willing to switch brands for product merit. 3) no IR blaster.self explanatory. if you think this isn't a big deal, you haven't used it to the full potential. 4) glass back is fine but not when wireless charging isn't part of the package. samsung started This bullshit trend but they got wireless charging to justify the back being a fingerprint magnet and looking less good than the best it can with a full metal back. i am talking about the M7. 5) most importantly, no Dual front facing speakers. again, HTC is just following the bullshit trend for 90% screen to body ratio. i know tat the earpiece works as a speaker for dual speakers effect but dual Front facing speakers is still the best option for listening to media sounds. it's also what defined HTC phones. after all this you may think i am a samsung fan or HTC hater, but i have a M8 which i like alot and use till this day despite hearing opinions of people who are allergic to HTC on a daily basis. i never upgraded beyond this product cause the M9 was the exact same phone at a higher price and everything that came afer it contains some form of bullshit.
Ajay Rathore. You are right. But it offers Hi Res Audio and comes with headphones in the box.. The only miss is wireless charging... (not a big problem as Quick Charge 4 compatibility should cover for it)
Romario Kurti the bokeh effect existed in the m8 but people thought it was so cool when Apple and Samsung started doing it last year so what was the point of mentioning it lol does the current Galaxy phones have the option? It is a serious question bc I really don't know
Alex Calhoun-Davis I'm really curious if this will basically be the Pixel 3, like the Pixel 2 xl was originally supposed to be what ended up being sold as the U11+ after Google decided to go with the LG built version. As a current owner of a P2XL I would say def get the 12+, it would be a moderate upgrade in a lot of ways. Unless you can get the Pixel real cheap. I bought mine off eBay for only about $500 personally so I'll hang in to it for now. Maybe when U12+s are available used (way cheaper).
noka5730 that notch is a silly gimmick that doesnt actually give you any more real estate......watch movie on the iphone x vs s7 plus.......S7 plus still have more screen than that iphone x gimmick
hope lawrence I'm not talking about the iPhone X's notch. It's not is really big and can't be disabled. I'm talking about the ones like in the OP6 etc they're not big and can be hidden
HTC always make great phones but they lack marketing. I didn't even know there was a launch coming soon. They actually can be the number #1 seller with the amazing designs and innovative new features they bring but again, marketing. I wish they keep making phones and hopefully this one sells well to help them with that. I still got my HTC10 and going great.
I love the fact that they kept at least one front speaker in it and glad to see it in the U12 but not sure about the back finger print sensor. Even with double tap to open, no good way to unlock if it's locked.
Eddie - E11World yes HTC does make great phones, I stumbled into ending up with a HTC phone about 6yrs ago and to make a long story short I lost that phone which was the resound and they sent me the M7 an man did I enjoy the hell outta that phone I rocked it for 3yrs then I got the HTC 10 fantastic phone but I did miss the front facing speakers but both of my htc's aged well I still have them both my M7 still fully functions but the battery is shot and will only stay on connected to a charger and my 10 has taken some big blows and the bottom part of the screen is popped out but it still fully functions and when it came time to upgrade the 10 I had my sights on the U11 but unfortunately Verizon didn't offer it and I heard rumors the U11 wasn't working properly on Verizon network so for the first time in 5yrs I had to consider a phone not named HTC and when I looked at what the rest had to offer at that time I wasn't all that impressed I wanted a phone with stereo speakers as I use that a lot so I said well I'll just get the V30 when it becomes available at least its got a good DAC and then google pulled the wraps off the pixel 2 XL and I saw it had front facing speakers and I was sold right there I didn't think I'd ever see those again lol so I snatched up the pixel and have enjoyed this phone it reminds me of how I felt when I first got my M7. But yeah I know what you mean by wanting to see the U12 sell good, me too because from my experience HTC makes good reliable phones that tend to stand the test of time and not slow down considerably like some are known to do and as long as HTC is around I'll always consider their products but I'll be honest I don't think the U12 can compete with other flagships the reason why they're not offered through major carriers as many people like to go to their carrier pick out a phone on a purchase plan resulting in a lot more units sold. No headphone Jack, I know the headphone Jack is on its way out the door but it's not out the door yet there's still a high demand for it and IP68 can still be achieved so it's not in the way of anything. A bigger battery like a 4000mah or more would attrack many buyers as well. Also wireless charging that's another thing that would attract buyers plus it really makes no sense not include wireless charging on a glass phone. And remember I'm not speaking about my personal preference I like a headphone Jack but can live without it and wireless charging is just not for me since I'm always on the go but I'm speaking from a business standpoint I think it would have been a good idea to include the features I mentioned especially a company that's in dire straits and can't afford to flop. But we'll see how it does in the days to come.
3dkiller I haven't experienced LCD unless it's on a HTC phone like my M7 or HTC10 but I don't know how big of a deal it would be to me. Speakers are huge for me.
Derek Drummond which doesn't make sense to me. I really like the s9. They maintained a great form, tweeked the display, fixed the fingerprint scanner location and brought some stellar cameras. I really love the build of those phones
Solid ?? Don't make me laugh dude... its abominal. Weakest phone in years ... JerryRigEverything totally destroyed the phone. And yes ..its a ultra extreme test!! But when your phone, breaks, front screen in its original HTC cover. Dropped on a wooden floor from knee height.. they lost me. I walked around with it for 9 months now, broken. And only 1 month ago i could get a estimate on a replacement screen from HTC themselves ... its just sad!
Android authority is the best IMO, been watching them for a 4 years. They explain every intricate detail about the device in an orderly fashion. Towards the future🙅🏽♂️ Bros!!
LUL if they seriously wants rise again and wants to compete with likes of Apple or Samsung or even Huawei they should work on advertisement/marketing more and try to make fake hype like them.
I love it! What a beauty! I'm intrigued by the new buttons and side touch options. Could be really handy, possibly not but kudos for trying something new regardless!
What a beast of a smartphone. Beautiful design, great camera's, great audio, great gpu and cpu performance, pretty good display (I don't like rounded corners, so this is a plus), no notch. What I don't like: smaller battery than last year, no headphonejack. I want one.
Selfie camera and screen rotation options are amazing, I can live with the LCD screen, but they lost me at no wireless charging. Especially for that price.
Origin I would agree with you if the phone was 600$ or less. But for an 800$ phone to lack these features, it's just not right. Compared to other flagships with the same price, it's lacking a lot.
noka5730 Wireless charging is not a requirement in a phone if only like 0.1% of people use it, it's a useless gimmick that makes it so that you can't use the phone while it is charging and actually makes the phone charge slower.
Last year I was so excited for the u11, I went out and bought one on the very first day of release and I was blown away with how good it is. This phone seems like a very lazy effort on comparison. Hardly any improvements on last year
Specs doesn't mean good user experience. Does it have the features and the utility to match other flagships at this price point? The answer is pretty obvious atm the extra power isn't worth the price tag alone lol it does look eye catching though 😍
I particularly like the lack of a notch despite the nice and big screen. I don't care how many companies do it; I'll still find it ugly and too jarring.
I remember the HTC One, I had to go to a training for it and everyone was scoffing at their reasoning for a 2 camera back. Best camera phone that year. 5 years later, every phone has 2 cameras.
I have the U11 and that applies to me too No need to upgrade from an already smooth user experience for just slightly higher GHz and somewhat improved cameras.
yo Alex your being over dramatic. While the New OLED tech is very promising it still isn't worth the extra expenses. I don't know what you do that burns though your battery that quickly. But I have the HTC U11 and it has an LCD pannel a nice one at that, and it lasts me from 6am to about 12pm and it still has about 40% left.
yo Alex no amoled takes less battery during video watching then LCD. LCD is good for browsing and social media apps. Even Apple ditched their gorgeous LCD panels for oled
but there is no notch so you can view your videos in 18;9 ratio without any major hindrance most of the time. and the colours looked really good on the phone .....its amazing actually!!
You cannot use ur phone while charging like I am doing right now on my Google Pixel. I am watching this video by plug in the charging cable and earphone at the same time.
As an HTC U12 Plus owner I can say this is the best HTC yet and best in class along with all the other flagships excepting the Note 9 witch is a flagship + when it comes to productivity.Like the U11, the HTC U12 is the best overall smartphone and even if the price was "high" it settled fast.2018 had 5 real android flagships and the HTC is without any doubts and with all the arguments one of them.Pixel 3, HTC U12, Samsung 9 Plus, Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Lg V40.Some will scream that there is no android 9 yet but it will come and take notice on how many devices had problems when android 9 was ported "early". Personally I like user interface diversity and I like what Samsung did with the new U.I, I like what One Plus is doing with their UI and I am a fan of HTC Sense UI even if this implementations affects the release of the new system updates.Capacitive buttons never give me any problems and I really like them, the camera of the U12 is outstanding(I think slightly better is the video on Iphone XS and the Galaxy but the still shots are slightly better on the HTC), battery life is good (4.40 SOT in 24 hours and still got 30% battery) but not as good as P20 Pro or Mate 20 Pro witch are by far the best in class, charging time is quick and a lot quicker than Iphone on FC, the UI is super simple, super smooth and super customizable, the LCD 6 is much brighter than the reviewers say and it is fine in sun light but is not as good as S9 but still it is an excellent screen, the edge sense squizeeing is very useful for shortcuts and the tap to shrink the screen is also very good.I use the semitransparent blue and the looks and feel are very unique and distinctive without trying to be "too much".
It's so beautiful & it's probably the first 18:9 phone with an edge to edge side bezels. All the other phones have huge side bezels. If only it was priced right!
What I like about AA channel, is that I never hear in any review, this phone is great, not great as samsung, or; this phone is great but not great as my pixel...MKBHD. Thank You guys from AA for such a objective and good reviews!
In MKBHD's defence, eventhough me and him are not on the same fandom on phones, He clearly states in every interview, he says he is bias. So he is open about his biases, not everybody is that honest.
Omaro's Weekly yeah, that's right, but in all his videos, he need to say, my pixel 2, pixel 2 is best, etc. Also, phonearena and some of others, put in every video, comparison with new samsung S line. I think everyone want to see, just old good review of one smartphone. I have to say also, i am a big fan of mkbhd, don't mean to attack probably the No.1 tech youtuber in the world.
DUUUUUDE that Tron- like back plat is FUCING AMAZING ... you can see the internals without it looking like it was DIY, like the fully transparent phone mods JerryRigEverything does HOLY SHIT that looks so badass
No OLED screen . Same LG G6 back design. Second lens could have done better than F2.6 Smaller battery capacity than last U11+ . They've could include front facing speakers. Overall good device but with big competition the price won't save it from failing again.
I have one issue i wish they used that bottom chin to put a front facing speaker that would be awesome, and i dont know how they did the solar red color but it looks gorgeous!!!!!❤️❤️ This or the s9???
HTC deserves a Crown for not adding a iWannaBe Notch !!! Look how sleek and modern it looks! 😍
Everytime Apple copies something people think they originated it! Why?
Salem Did you hear, Apple invented wireless charging now! LOL
Lol, apple planned it first, but Essential overtake apple from releasing the phone with Notch
Kevin Damerr Apple also invented color screen technology.
Salem Memes will never die, Apple invented them.
Why they don't work on promotion\advertising as they work on their phone..this is a superb phone...
If only it was AMOLED
Dylan McKenzie super LCD has near amoled colours. I prefer S.lcd over amoled
Σπυρος Τσιμπακης that's right..nd its quad hd
Dylan McKenzie I would buy it over anything..
Dylan McKenzie after i use oled.. i would said.. i prefer lcd..
It seems a great phone... I wish it's a hit... May HTC jumps back.
Only with the love of its fans and future consumers.
Omaro's Weekly they have to advertise it properly or else this phone will fail to.😞
This has been the case for years and they still never get marketing right. I have just accepted that while HTC makes amazing phones they suck at garnering attention and therefore this will be another underrated phone that barely anyone knows about.
@Roborav m7,m8 and m10 a flop??
@Roborav lol m7 and m8 are like the top 3 phones back then. You are just talking shit out of your mouth. Nobody buys it because their marketing is shit but only smart people will look into it. Heck htc 12 might be even better than current iphone.
Never expected such things from htc
I think htc is back with a bang
Chaos Theory i agree
jup HTC is going Hardcore
I find this device promising.
me too.just is bad that i dont have money for him😄
That's a good comeback by HTC.
Vishwadeep Sonawane agreed
They've produced 3 good phones in a row. It's just no one buys them 😂
Whats good about it? Same construction as the U11, in short..it sucks .. scanner on the back ?? extra bad camera's ?? Don't get me wrong, i was looking forward to today, but seeing this shit i'm moving to a different brand ...
Vishwadeep Sonawane look at the price and u will change your mind
what comeback? the guy in the video had to sound excited or the channel may get fewer brand deals but all i heard was "HTC hold this L". shoutout to floss.
1) removing black from the colour lineup is not innovation.
2) no headphone jack. HTC does not have an army of sheep buying whatever bullshit comes out every year so following this bullshit trend is definitely a bad move when android users mostly vote with their wallet and are very willing to switch brands for product merit.
3) no IR blaster.self explanatory. if you think this isn't a big deal, you haven't used it to the full potential.
4) glass back is fine but not when wireless charging isn't part of the package. samsung started This bullshit trend but they got wireless charging to justify the back being a fingerprint magnet and looking less good than the best it can with a full metal back. i am talking about the M7.
5) most importantly, no Dual front facing speakers. again, HTC is just following the bullshit trend for 90% screen to body ratio. i know tat the earpiece works as a speaker for dual speakers effect but dual Front facing speakers is still the best option for listening to media sounds. it's also what defined HTC phones.
after all this you may think i am a samsung fan or HTC hater, but i have a M8 which i like alot and use till this day despite hearing opinions of people who are allergic to HTC on a daily basis. i never upgraded beyond this product cause the M9 was the exact same phone at a higher price and everything that came afer it contains some form of bullshit.
The Near Perfect Smartphone Dark Horse of 2018.
Shanmuka Nalli if only it had 3.5mm kack
Ajay Rathore. You are right.
But it offers Hi Res Audio and comes with headphones in the box..
The only miss is wireless charging... (not a big problem as Quick Charge 4 compatibility should cover for it)
Battery should be bigger:-)
And no wireless charging gives it a bigger battery!
bro even the u11 (not the plus model) outlasted the galaxy s8 PLUS! Don't worry about the battery.
That smart rotation is so cool!
That's true..!!!@
It existed in the Galaxy S3
Romario Kurti the bokeh effect existed in the m8 but people thought it was so cool when Apple and Samsung started doing it last year so what was the point of mentioning it lol does the current Galaxy phones have the option? It is a serious question bc I really don't know
but it worked by always looking at your face through the camera which basically meant 1 hour screen on time if you were dumb enough to enable it
I think the honor v10 has this feature
This looks crazy promising. This very well might be my next phone if I decide to pass on the Pixel 2 XL
Alex Calhoun-Davis I'm really curious if this will basically be the Pixel 3, like the Pixel 2 xl was originally supposed to be what ended up being sold as the U11+ after Google decided to go with the LG built version. As a current owner of a P2XL I would say def get the 12+, it would be a moderate upgrade in a lot of ways. Unless you can get the Pixel real cheap. I bought mine off eBay for only about $500 personally so I'll hang in to it for now. Maybe when U12+s are available used (way cheaper).
Beastly G don't buy this beauty used
what's your current phone?
pixel 3xl is produced lg , on base the v40
Beastly G I don't see where it's an upgrade over the pixel 2 XL.
No notch..👌👌👌👍👍👍👏👏👏💪💪💪😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
i prefer a notch in which you can disable it. you will get more screen real estate
Desent company cant offered notch
noka5730 that notch is a silly gimmick that doesnt actually give you any more real estate......watch movie on the iphone x vs s7 plus.......S7 plus still have more screen than that iphone x gimmick
hope lawrence I'm not talking about the iPhone X's notch. It's not is really big and can't be disabled. I'm talking about the ones like in the OP6 etc they're not big and can be hidden
noka5730
Lol then what's the point of the notch? 😂

Yay! HTC10!!!
I love the fact that they kept at least one front speaker in it and glad to see it in the U12 but not sure about the back finger print sensor. Even with double tap to open, no good way to unlock if it's locked.

Eddie - E11World the lcd screen is the worse of them all. Have you seen the viewing angles ?. Once you see it you gonna think twice.
3dkiller I haven't experienced LCD unless it's on a HTC phone like my M7 or HTC10 but I don't know how big of a deal it would be to me. Speakers are huge for me.
*HTC IS BACK* 🔥🔥🔥
They would be back if they use AMOLED but that is not the case.
Yesssss
Dylan McKenzie IPS > AMOLED for me all the way
no 3,5 mm audio jack
Glad 2c HTC is still in the game. My 1st smartphone was HTC. I'm a die hard Note now, but still sentimental over HTC. 🤗
Hope they stay in the game. 👍🏾
May the geeks of HTC bring you back! LOL
I wanna tag Zack from JerryRigEverything in this video. 😛
Vishwadeep Sonawane He will soon get his tools on it. :D
Karan Dev already did a video, I think
ONLYMAFIA 1 It was U11. I am certain of it.
What do you get from torturing a phone?
tucking fypo you are totally right. I just feel uneasy watching
This is how to build on an already solid device from last year. Very nice, HTC!
Samsung built the S9 on the solid S8 and got slagged off for it , so i suppose it's fine for HTC then.
Derek Drummond which doesn't make sense to me. I really like the s9. They maintained a great form, tweeked the display, fixed the fingerprint scanner location and brought some stellar cameras. I really love the build of those phones
Solid ?? Don't make me laugh dude... its abominal. Weakest phone in years ... JerryRigEverything totally destroyed the phone. And yes ..its a ultra extreme test!! But when your phone, breaks, front screen in its original HTC cover. Dropped on a wooden floor from knee height.. they lost me. I walked around with it for 9 months now, broken. And only 1 month ago i could get a estimate on a replacement screen from HTC themselves ... its just sad!
Joey Poortman he hasn't done a durability test on the 12+ though. Or at least the video isn't out yet?
Nick Basra no but based on all the photo's the screen itself is still curved. And that means its like balsa wood...
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the fact that HTC created the worlds first touch screen smart phones back in the late 90's
Wow that smart orientation is actually a practical use for pressure sensitivity
Android authority is the best IMO, been watching them for a 4 years. They explain every intricate detail about the device in an orderly fashion. Towards the future🙅🏽♂️ Bros!!
bless HTC for not bringing the notch on this phone
KhaiGo Gaming it has a notch
David Escalante no tf
The haptic feedback for the power button as well as volume is quite a good concept. Pressure sensitivity also.
Yep it's good phone, but I am sure It's going to be very underrated like previous htc flagships
Apoorva Sachan underrated just like lg :/
LUL if they seriously wants rise again and wants to compete with likes of Apple or Samsung or even Huawei they should work on advertisement/marketing more and try to make fake hype like them.
HTC U12+ #1
I love it! What a beauty! I'm intrigued by the new buttons and side touch options. Could be really handy, possibly not but kudos for trying something new regardless!
It could be less moving parts to ensure longer use of the phone. That's my guess
Htc made first android smartphone.All others are in the market because of htc
Once again HTC has priced too high. Skip, but this time skipping with tears in my eyes.
Because I really want one.
I'm always a fan of HTC's work, htc 10 is my current daily driver. I'll upgrade soon😉
Finally!! I have the U11 and I've been waiting to see if I should upgrade
i was settling on a OnePlus6, but then THIS!
CThienV one plus 6 is awesome though.
CThienV op6 still cheaper. If i have 900 bucks, ill spend on pixel 3 instead.
im sure it is, but it never won my heart but rather just happens to be the best deal
yes, completely valid. but i have this OCD issue with symmetry (notches) and really dislike rounded screen corners (pretty much every other phone)
Go for the OP6,stock android = faster updates,and its cheaper
That translucent blue is cute. One in a million
What a beast of a smartphone. Beautiful design, great camera's, great audio, great gpu and cpu performance, pretty good display (I don't like rounded corners, so this is a plus), no notch.
What I don't like: smaller battery than last year, no headphonejack.
I want one.
I love it, HTC is really stepping up their game!
HTC. = Hail This Company.😄😍😍😍
LOL
More like: Help This Company.
It means pixel 3 XL going to be more exciting. 😍😍😍😍
Solid coverage of this phone. Enjoyed the presentation and I'm really impressed with the overall build of this phone.
Finally a HTC device worth buying
I've been using u11 for 3 months and I honestly consider it to be one of the best phones. Good job htc.
Awesome work Android authority
That smart rotate is awesome! That's something I never knew I needed.
Welcome back HTC 👍🏾
This htc looks awesome 😃Design, hardware and cameras.
I liked it
Makes me want to fall in love with HTC all over again...
A Notch Free Flagship 😀😀
HTC is coming back and I am very happy with that!
They nailed it
Selfie camera and screen rotation options are amazing, I can live with the LCD screen, but they lost me at no wireless charging. Especially for that price.
Near to #complete_smartphone...👏👏 Great hardware software... Camera top class...👍
no headphone jack
no wireless charging
no IP rating
800$ starting price
no stereo speakers
bezels on top and bottom
its still far from "complete"
noka5730 for ur info it has ip 68 rating
noka5730
wireless charging is a pointless feature
Origin I would agree with you if the phone was 600$ or less. But for an 800$ phone to lack these features, it's just not right. Compared to other flagships with the same price, it's lacking a lot.
noka5730
Wireless charging is not a requirement in a phone if only like 0.1% of people use it, it's a useless gimmick that makes it so that you can't use the phone while it is charging and actually makes the phone charge slower.
Last year I was so excited for the u11, I went out and bought one on the very first day of release and I was blown away with how good it is. This phone seems like a very lazy effort on comparison. Hardly any improvements on last year
no carriers selling this phone is gonna hurt them bad
As a U11 user, I am getting this one for my wife. HTC is definitely back
The perfect smartphone ❤️
Thank you htc for not jumping on trends , I personally prefer no head phone jack because I have a Bluetooth headphone with superb bass
why peoples say this is over price?.this phone packed with superior specs. definitely worth for the price
People are concerned about no headphone jack and no AMOLED.
Specs doesn't mean good user experience. Does it have the features and the utility to match other flagships at this price point? The answer is pretty obvious atm the extra power isn't worth the price tag alone lol it does look eye catching though 😍
At 4:20 that red HTC looks gold!!!!
I particularly like the lack of a notch despite the nice and big screen. I don't care how many companies do it; I'll still find it ugly and too jarring.
weedwak but there IS a notch. Most phones with a notch allows you to hide it like HTC does
David Escalante There's no notch... It's not blacked out on the top, as there are cameras there. There's just a top bezel.
Looks great. HTC just needs more advertising now. I hope this phone brings them back to business!
😁😁😁😁👍👍👍..cool..that blue.. and seeing hardware.. nice
I remember the HTC One, I had to go to a training for it and everyone was scoffing at their reasoning for a 2 camera back. Best camera phone that year. 5 years later, every phone has 2 cameras.
I have a U11+ and to me , I am very happy with it and there just doesn't seem enough of a change for me to swap into the u12+
MrCarelessBOO Pretty much how that usually goes. I think now it's more like every other year is the real upgrade.
I have the U11 and that applies to me too
No need to upgrade from an already smooth user experience for just slightly higher GHz and somewhat improved cameras.
MrCarelessBOO U11+ is tye worst phone
Overall, HTC phones are having oldschool desugn language
Alishan Abid because it doesn't have a notch?🙄
Alishan Abid u r blind overall and ur choice is very old school.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 BRAVO HTC! Best android phone phone outhere so far! AND ORIGINAL!
Nice design!!! 👍👍
Awesome phone, definitely one of the best phones right now.
Why LCD display? Atleast the Oled display burns less battery because it turns off the pixel on the black bars while watching 16:9 videos
Yet watching videos burn through the battery. Logic smh
HTC just doesn't have the budget anymore it's very sad but if you get over the Oled trend it's a great device
yo Alex your being over dramatic. While the New OLED tech is very promising it still isn't worth the extra expenses. I don't know what you do that burns though your battery that quickly. But I have the HTC U11 and it has an LCD pannel a nice one at that, and it lasts me from 6am to about 12pm and it still has about 40% left.
yo Alex no amoled takes less battery during video watching then LCD. LCD is good for browsing and social media apps. Even Apple ditched their gorgeous LCD panels for oled
but there is no notch so you can view your videos in 18;9 ratio without any major hindrance most of the time.
and the colours looked really good on the phone .....its amazing actually!!
The translucent blue reminds me of the translucent Bondi Blue iMac G3 from 1998. I'm definitely liking it.
You cannot use ur phone while charging like I am doing right now on my Google Pixel. I am watching this video by plug in the charging cable and earphone at the same time.
As an HTC U12 Plus owner I can say this is the best HTC yet and best in class along with all the other flagships excepting the Note 9 witch is a flagship + when it comes to productivity.Like the U11, the HTC U12 is the best overall smartphone and even if the price was "high" it settled fast.2018 had 5 real android flagships and the HTC is without any doubts and with all the arguments one of them.Pixel 3, HTC U12, Samsung 9 Plus, Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Lg V40.Some will scream that there is no android 9 yet but it will come and take notice on how many devices had problems when android 9 was ported "early". Personally I like user interface diversity and I like what Samsung did with the new U.I, I like what One Plus is doing with their UI and I am a fan of HTC Sense UI even if this implementations affects the release of the new system updates.Capacitive buttons never give me any problems and I really like them, the camera of the U12 is outstanding(I think slightly better is the video on Iphone XS and the Galaxy but the still shots are slightly better on the HTC), battery life is good (4.40 SOT in 24 hours and still got 30% battery) but not as good as P20 Pro or Mate 20 Pro witch are by far the best in class, charging time is quick and a lot quicker than Iphone on FC, the UI is super simple, super smooth and super customizable, the LCD 6 is much brighter than the reviewers say and it is fine in sun light but is not as good as S9 but still it is an excellent screen, the edge sense squizeeing is very useful for shortcuts and the tap to shrink the screen is also very good.I use the semitransparent blue and the looks and feel are very unique and distinctive without trying to be "too much".
replace real button with pressure censor?,, men, that is so goood
Solid 2018 flagship with no notch. Thank you for listening HTC.
This is a SMART smartphone.
It's so beautiful & it's probably the first 18:9 phone with an edge to edge side bezels. All the other phones have huge side bezels.
If only it was priced right!
Love you HTC 🌹♥♥
Everything looks on point.I am so happy there is no NOTCH!
Bien hecho HTC.....🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
What I like about AA channel, is that I never hear in any review, this phone is great, not great as samsung, or; this phone is great but not great as my pixel...MKBHD.
Thank You guys from AA for such a objective and good reviews!
In MKBHD's defence, eventhough me and him are not on the same fandom on phones, He clearly states in every interview, he says he is bias. So he is open about his biases, not everybody is that honest.
Omaro's Weekly yeah, that's right, but in all his videos, he need to say, my pixel 2, pixel 2 is best, etc.
Also, phonearena and some of others, put in every video, comparison with new samsung S line. I think everyone want to see, just old good review of one smartphone.
I have to say also, i am a big fan of mkbhd, don't mean to attack probably the No.1 tech youtuber in the world.
Wow smart, really smart phone
HTC Geek Power!
Can’t wait to watch the durability test on this beauty 😊😊
Awesome thank God no notch
HYPERSONIC20 buy it now
akshay salve zaroor dost...

Iron59 CPNH now that's a bummer 😥
FINALLY a phone without a NOTCH !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks HTC
Wow it's great HTC is still making mobile phone
Boomsound is back!!!!!! And no notch!!!!!!! And awesome camera!!!!!!!
Best in the market.
Wish i had the money
I don't like it....
I LOVE IT!!
the No.1 of Android ever, wish this can make a change!
Nailed it htc..
I love HTC so much
Using both the HTC m8and m10
I hope to get another one
Just wow!
DUUUUUDE that Tron- like back plat is FUCING AMAZING ... you can see the internals without it looking like it was DIY, like the fully transparent phone mods JerryRigEverything does
HOLY SHIT that looks so badass
HTC out doing LG as far as innovations. Hopefully they stay afloat...
Timothy Brown With the prices they are going for? Good luck..
RudeBomberBoy01 I agree, I wish they priced it at $700, or at least $750.
It's a + edition phone so it is priced as so... You are asking for it to be priced as a regular edition phone
Steven M I'd agree with you if there was a regular U12, but is that even down the pipeline?
HTC's comeback phone. Touch sense is a good highlight feature.. I'm wondering if a phone protector like otterbox will greatly affect those features..
HTC slips it at the right moment, when there are notches selling all around.
Tanmay Pradhan but there is a notch
That auto rotate features! Damn! My jaw literally dropped ❤️
No Headphone jack😞😞😞 A definite No for me👎👎 It will put lot of pressure on Charging port pin & might damage the port after some time.
I love it !! Great job HTC !! I hope TMobile or Best Buy will have this phone in their stores soon
No OLED screen .
Same LG G6 back design.
Second lens could have done better than F2.6
Smaller battery capacity than last U11+ .
They've could include front facing speakers.
Overall good device but with big competition the price won't save it from failing again.
HTC is back on track 👍
No 3.5mm 👎
Smart rotation👍
By far the best solution for not having buttons on the the front
looking nice.
Definately buying this HTC, its the perfect phone!
i want this phone
I have one issue i wish they used that bottom chin to put a front facing speaker that would be awesome, and i dont know how they did the solar red color but it looks gorgeous!!!!!❤️❤️
This or the s9???
